ITB Week 1 Postgame Show: Did The Eagles IMPRESS In Tight Win Over Commanders? · Inside the Birds: A Philadelphia Eagles Podcast

• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Hello, welcome to the Inside the Birds postgame show. First
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: one of the 2022 season, I'm sorry, 2026 season. The
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Eagles come out with a win. They just barely get by.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: They beat the Washington Commanders 24 to 22. And Adam,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: it takes a big two-point conversion stop there at the end.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I believe Mauro Jomo makes the big tackle. It turns
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: out to be the big play of the game, and
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: that's what gets the Eagles off to their 1-0 start.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: So there's a lot to talk about between the new offense,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: some of the leaky defense, and obviously special teams was
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: huge in this game in a variety of ways. What
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: are your initial thoughts of this game?
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Well, it's a win. Barely a win, but they did win.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Nick Ciorani now 6-0 as the Eagles head coach in
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: season openers. It's called a survivor and advance game. They
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: didn't play well. I thought Devontae Smith said it very
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: well on offense. A lot of good, a lot of bad.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: But they have to stop shooting themselves in the foot.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Stop getting behind the sticks is what he said. Well,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: to that degree, I don't know how this is– I
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: don't know. I guessed at this, and I looked it up.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm right. I can't believe it. They had
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: the lowest amount of first downs in the National Football
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: League on Sunday. Ten.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Wow. Ten first downs.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I didn't even realize that. I knew it was bad.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: I'm like, when is the last time they got a
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: first down? You know, watching. And they got ten.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Ten. I think the Bears had ten after their second drive. Oh,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: my God. Oh, my God.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: There were five games that had over 60 points on Sunday.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Amazing.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: But even the Titans had more. They played next week.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: They had 11. But that's bad. That tells you a lot,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: despite how many points they put up. it was really
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: misleading 24 points, but yeah, I mean, they did score
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: 14 in the first half, a couple of big plays,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: but other than that, the running game was horrendous. One
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: big play, one big play. Then, then Barkley's 14 for 41.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: That's not good. Like there, I, there's so much, I mean,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: we could do two hours on this thing. We're so
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: much bad in the game, but they won. That's the key.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, our job, we're not Eagles fans, folks. We
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: tell the truth here.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: And I cannot wait till we do the inside of
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: the tape show with Greg Cosell. Um, They've got some
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: offensive line problems, which we'll get to once we get
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: through the tape. But there's certain things we could see.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: But there were some encouraging signs. In the first half
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: with Dontavion Wicks, they isolated him and Mike Sanderstroll. Love
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: that Sean Mannion did that. That was a big problem
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I had with Kevin Petullo. When Jalen was given enough time,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: he delivered in the first half. The bomb was phenomenal.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Protection was phenomenal. Throw was great. And then the first
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: one to Goddard, That was a five-step drop. One and
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: a half, two hitches. Ball's out. Led Goddard. The ball
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: was out there. He was halfway through his route. Great throw.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: That's encouraging. Now, was there a lot of slapiness? We're
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: going to have to learn, was it the lack of
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: receivers getting open? Was Jalen holding the ball too long?
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: You know, which has been the case for many years.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: We don't know that yet. We're going to look at
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: the tape. We're going to find out. We're going to
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: get that answer. But then there was just so many
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: problems in the run game. Missed blocks. Pass protection. Barkley
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: had one where he stoned the guy. Then he got
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: blown up on one. He actually missed two blocks. That
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: was disappointing. Makai Lemon, I mean, I know they forced
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: him on the field. He's not ready. That's kind of
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: what we thought. But to be honest with you, he's
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: not a separator. That's his problem. That showed up in
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: the game. But you know what? That's a scheme thing.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: You got to get him open. That's on Sean Mannion.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Got to get him open by formation. They did reduce receivers,
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: which is totally what I expected that came in. Wicks
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: is reduced. Lemon, of course, was. They ran your four
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: verts as you texted me. Of course, I knew that
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: was coming. We knew that. We put it through the
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: four verts.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: That was Goddard's first touchdown, and he bent inside the
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: corner in the safety.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: I saw one crosser that Jalen hit over the middle
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: in the first half. I'm looking at my notes here.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at one check down, not enough. They need more.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I know Hurts scrambled. It seemed like they were all
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: scrambles with Wes, Greg, how these guys at NFL films
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: graded it. It didn't look like anything was designed. Could
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: be wrong. Maybe one was, but I didn't see that.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: There are issues, but they did score enough to win.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: They did score 24 points, but it didn't seem like
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: it based on the game looks, but you take it.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, but the thing is your coaches will tell
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: you that it's all about corrections. Even if they scored
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: 50 and play great, the fine stuff, the correct, There's
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: stuff they don't have to find. They're going to find it.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: It's going to show up on tape. Overall, it's a
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: performance situation. We're only talking offense here. We'll talk defense
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: in a minute. You just feel like, okay, they left
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: a lot of meat on the bone. Devontae talked about it.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: A lot of bad execution errors, a ton of them.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: But you like that Wicks showed up. I know in
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: the second half he didn't do anything, but those are
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: two big plays. And it's the trust that Hurts has
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: with Wicks. We talked about it in training camp. Wicks
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: is seemingly almost always where he's supposed to be. by route,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: by the route combination, and with the timing of the
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: passing game and the offense and the progression, it's really good. Now,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: the issue that we have to bring up, as much
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: as a lot of fans hate A.J. Brown for what
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: happened last season and we won it out and all that,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: it showed up today in this game not having A.J. Brown,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: but it did show up.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Devontae needs help. Yeah, I thought he would get targeted
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: a whole lot more, but the passing game, as you're mentioning,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: and for a variety of different reasons, just was not
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: like poetry in motion. We'll get to that in a minute.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I think that it's fair to have a 10,000 foot
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: view of this thing and say it's week one. So
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: you expect not everything is going to be perfect, especially
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: with the offense.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: And it's a win against a division foe that played
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: all right. Not great. they made a couple of mistakes
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: that really hurt them, but they could have won the game. Okay.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: So they played well enough to come into hostile territory
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and almost steal the game there in the fourth quarter.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: So you get that win, you get some wrinkles ironed out.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I think, and I talked to some guys in the
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: locker room after this on defense, certainly not having any
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: tape on what David Blau is yet. Just knowing where
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: he comes from was a little tricky for them on
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: some certain routes. And you saw Antonio Williams had a
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: really nice, nice game and Cooper Eugene struggled, but, So
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: you can take this 10,000-foot view and say it's truly
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: a cliche, but it is very true because you see
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: upsets all the time, and there were some in week one.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: It's tough to win. So now they're 1-0. They've beaten
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: division opponent, and you're getting through your rough period of
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: finding yourself by getting victories. If you had lost this game,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: imagine what we'd be saying because the difference between winning
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: and losing this game was honestly Jalen Carter blocking a PAT,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: a very questionable– penalty called on Stefan Diggs for a
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: celebration that made them not be able to.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Go for it. You can't do that. That's it.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I didn't think it was the goalpost.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: You can't do that.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like I don't know what
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: it is and isn't anymore. Cause I saw some stuff
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: going on earlier in the day. That was what I
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: thought was excessive, but I was fine with that.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: That's that was put in years ago because they weren't
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: calling it. And a bunch of players are doing this.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: It's enough for taking it out.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Right. Yeah. Okay, so take the questionable out of it.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: The fact that it happened, it made them not be
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: able to go for the two-point conversion there when they
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: had a lot of momentum going on.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: And when you're talking about your punter being your MVP again,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: it's not where you want to be. So, yes, there
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: are all the positives that I mentioned that you can
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: take from this. And by the way, Zach Vaughn played
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: like a man-possessed.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: He's unreal, man.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: He was unbelievable. I don't know if they win without
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: him because he made about seven– important stops, whether third
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: downs or pass breakups altogether. He was incredible.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: But if you want to be, if you want to
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: look at it and say, Hey, I was really looking
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: forward to seeing some development from last year, especially offensive.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I was really looking forward to interior offensive line health
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: being a good thing and getting the run game going.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: And then that in turn, marrying a good pass game.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: You didn't, what you saw was basically the same, Run, run,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: run into brick wall offense and then pop a few
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: big pass plays or a few big Jalen Hurts runs.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: That's Eagles from the past. You did not see what
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: you were hoping to see. But again, it's week one.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I know they got to work on it, but you
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: were at least hoping to see a step in that
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: direction and you didn't. And that part, probably won't make
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: people feel good until maybe week three or week four.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Cause they may be to Titans this way next week also,
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: but people want to see that the offense is for
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: real and that the changes that they make will work.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: But I don't think they could see that yet. And
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: it really does. I worry about the offensive line. Oh,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Landon Dickerson in particular.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Dickerson boy, he fell down. He just didn't look right. Um,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: we'll see what the tape looks like. Looking forward to
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: watching that and talking to Greg, who's so about it. Um,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: The run blocking was poor. I was very surprised. They
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: had one great run by Barkley. Barkley also made it
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: some yards on the 14 for 41. Trust me, it
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: looked like 14 for 25. It's just he had trouble
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: getting out of the zone way. What they did is,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: because they didn't respect the Eagles receivers, I'm just telling
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: you what it looked very clear to me. They loaded
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: up that box.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: They loaded it up, and I noticed it early game.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at my notes here. No A.J. Brown showing up,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: showing up, showing up because you're not worried about anyone.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: I know Wicks, he made two big plays. No question.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I would throw in, I think it was a lot.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. They were not afraid of Eagles receivers.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Not at all.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: And they they believe that they could either a overpower
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: the interior of that offensive line or B or B,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: which also happened, break down protection schemes to get some
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: free rides, which they also got. So they showed a
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: lack of respect. You could say the same way for,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Chris Cooper's ability to have the answers in the middle
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: of a game, especially in the second half. Sonny Stiles,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: you mentioned he started coming. Lou Vu goes out with
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: a groin injury. You think everything's good, but no. They
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: just play five or six guys at the line of scrimmage.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: They drop some. They send some. That really forced a
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: lot of rushed and hurried plays from the offense and
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: from Jalen Hurts. Football is finally back, and PrizePix is

• 12:21
  Speaker 1: to work out. I get to the gym at least
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: three times a week. I try to focus on certain
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: muscle groups, my arms, my legs. And it used to
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: be really frustrating for me to find jeans that fit
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: someone like myself who likes to work out. Sometimes those
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: jeans can be awkward and tight and you're sitting in
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: a chair and you're constantly pulling it. your jeans trying
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: to get them to fit you. Sometimes it feels like
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: you have to buy jeans that make you choose between
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: your waist or your thighs. But thankfully, I found the
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: perfect jean. It's different from all other jean companies, especially
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: for guys with athletic builds. They actually let me move
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: like a normal human being. I can bend down and
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: tie my shoes. I can squat to pick up something
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: without feeling restricted. I can actually do a full squat,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: you know, bending down to pick something up. without feeling
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: like I'm about to blow a scene. You know, the
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: old standard jean sizing, it wasn't designed to fit guys
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: who squat or deadlift, play sports, or just do anything
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: that actually builds your legs, but the Perfect Jeans is
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: designed for just that, for guys like me. Perfect Jeans
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: has six fits. It includes the athletic fit, the slim,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: the thick, and the thick thick, specifically built around the
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: reality that legs and waist don't always scale together. Right now,

• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, really not much to add. I mean, it just, uh,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: they crowded the box. Um, Communication at certain times was
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: not great. It was tough to watch, to be honest
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: with you.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: Because they didn't play in the preseason. We saw them
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: against New England in the joint practice. Andrew and I
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: were there, and we liked what we saw. Again, it's
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: not a real game, but it's physical contact from another team.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: It's not my first game, but remember what we said
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: in the pregame show. Washington has completely revamped their offensive line.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: Excuse me, defensive line. They changed the scheme totally, and
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: they've added so much talent in the front seven. But
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: their front seven was terrible last season. Oldest defense in
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: the National Football League. That's no longer the case. They
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: still have some older players that are still under contract,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: so they couldn't get rid of them. But they look fresh.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: They did a good job. What Washington has a problem with,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: we talked about this pregame. Mike Sanders is still really
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: not a corner.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: He's a nickel.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: He was phenomenal two years ago. Struggled a bit playing
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: corner last season. Struggled a bit. The Eagles went after
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Russell Douglas a little bit. He got them. They got him. Um,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: but I say all this, it's only game one. Yep.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: They're going to make a lot of corrections. They're playing
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Tennessee who was looked awful. Tennessee didn't have any injuries
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: in the game. I, I got the transcript. So I
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: got an early word. They didn't have anything, but they
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: were terrible against the jets. They're a bad team. Eagle
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: should not struggle. Sirianni, Sterkley's really good on the road.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: So you feel good about that. And we'll get the
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: defense at a second, finish up offense, but they have
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: a lot to correct. They should feel fortunate. They scored 24.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: They did. Okay. It's a fact, but as you said,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: brain and man can't be the all-star. I mean, 10
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: first downs is unbelievably embarrassing. I agree.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: He's great, but he can't be your best player at times.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: What did you think of the Goddard touchdown that won
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: the game for the U of the 42 yarder? I
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: thought he might not be completely set because I've watched
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: it slowly. He kind of does this hop and his
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: right leg is still in the air as the ball
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: is being snapped. So it looked like, and that also
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: looked like my a lot of, kind of flinched back.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: So I feel like they got away with one, but hey,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: it wasn't called. So maybe that was a creative way
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: of Sean Mannion. Just, I don't know what kind of,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: that's not burst motion. That's like hop motion, right?
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: No, it wasn't. But I, I wonder if they have
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: a pool report asking the ref if, if there was that,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: because usually there's going to be a pool report anyway. Yeah.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: There's gotta be something they could, they could ask him about.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: That's a play I would ask about just to get clarification,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: but I found it interesting. I don't, maybe the folks
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: who are looking at YouTube, Maybe you guys heard it,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: but I don't remember them going to Mike Pereira for Fox. Yeah.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Because Kevin Burkhart and Brady, they went over the play,
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: but they didn't say that he wasn't set. So I'm like, okay.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Because usually you know. Usually it's obvious. It was questionable,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: but they would usually go to Mike Pereira. They didn't, surprisingly. Yeah.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, the edge– I think it was O.A. It
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: was one of the edge defenders for Washington was pointing
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: as soon as it happened and stopped running. And that's
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: his fault. You got to play until you hear a whistle, right?
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: But they stopped. And everybody in the press box, just
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: to give people an idea what it was like, it
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: was a very objective place, no cheering, no nothing. There's
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Commander's media. There's Eagle's media. As soon as that ball
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: got snapped, there was noise. Everybody made a noise like, huh?
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Because it looked not set. Like it didn't look right.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: So– We'll talk to Greg about it. We'll break it down.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: I'll be able to have some footage of it. But
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: it becomes controversial because if they don't score there, I mean,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: who knows?
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: I'd like to get clarification. By the way, usually the
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: opposing team has some of their personnel staff in the
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: press box.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: And I remember, this is really funny, so the 2010
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: game in Washington when our friend Clay Harbor had the
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: block for Vic on the bomb to D-Jack. Mm-hmm. I
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: think it was 2010. It, it was insane because the
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Eagles had some of the personnel staff in there. And,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: and of course, you know, they have to be careful.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: Like they're like this, this, but they're not saying anything.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: It was really funny.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Cause they know they can't do it.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Can't share the press box.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: Anyway.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: All right. So that's, that's pretty much, I mean, I don't, again, we'll,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: we're really going to go through it on inside the tape.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: We're going to go sell this week, but I counted myself.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Cause I was, Hey, I'm in the press box. I
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: have a really good view here. where I sit, of
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: when the Eagles are going from the north end zone
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: to the south end zone. Or vice versa, actually. And
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: there were a lot of times locked in on the
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: run game. And Landon Dickerson, to me, looked like he
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: was either immobile or could not put his hands up
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: in time. I want to go back to one thing
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: I told you. I was at the last practice. Before
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: the preseason game. The last practice, everybody, it was a
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: light practice, but all the first-teamers, Mekhi Lemon was practicing.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: They were subbing out Dickerson occasionally and subbing in Drew Kendall.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: And I've already taken a look at a couple of,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: because you can see you don't need all 22 to
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: see offensive line play. I've already taken a look at
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: a few of the pressures that commanders have gotten. And
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: there are times where Landon is just, it's almost like
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: he's not competing anymore. The sack on Hurts, it almost
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: looked like a stunt on the left side where he
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: just lets Luvu get right past him and then Luvu
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: bull rushes Mailata and just drops Hurts. There was like
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: four or five, there were a couple of run blitzes
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: where they just come right at him. And it's sad
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: because he's a great guy and he's a three-time Pro
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Bowler and he went and had all these surgeries, which
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: is unfortunate. But I don't want to overreact to week one,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: but if that's what you're getting going forward, he might
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: not be able to play.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Oh, I mean, it's only day one and it's week one,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: but if we're talking, if we keep saying this for
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: six weeks, that's when you've got to start talking about
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: getting Drew Kendall ready.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Who theoretically would be his replacement. Yeah, I don't think
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: it would be Willie Lampkin.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: And by the way, everybody on the line, even Lane
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: had a few... I mean, it was... And that's where
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: I put it on Cooper being his first year and
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Mannion first year. These guys have to get together and
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: figure things out in the game, especially we talked about
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: this in the pregame. You're facing a Brian Flores disciple defense.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: You know they're going to put six and seven guys,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: and it could be any six or seven guys, on
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. They're going to make it seem
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: like they're all coming. They're going to drop two, drop three,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: rush six sometimes. And they did that. And I thought
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Durante was really calling a good game once it got
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: to the third quarter. early fourth before that Goddard touchdown
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: kind of broke the back a little bit. He was,
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: he had, he had the offense confused and hurts bailed
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: them out with some, some important runs. But again, you
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: were looking for more in the rhythm and timing passing game.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: And it's not there yet.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Not there.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, but which is hard to be when you're
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: behind the sticks though. I got, I can't put it
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: all on the offense. Yeah.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: I it's, it's hard to pick cause we don't have
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: access to the tape. So I'm just trying to, cause
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: I'd like to know if there were some, cause there
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: were some plays where just hurts us, Rolled out and
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: just threw it out of bounds and whatever. You saw
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: him go to the sideline. Because we've seen this in
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: the past when we point out this ball should have
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: been out. The guy was open. Within the progression, the
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: guy was opening to throw it. But don't know that yet. Yeah.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: So we're going to learn. Actually, we're taping tomorrow, so
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: I can't wait. Before we move to defense, here's the thing.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: They scored 24. Yeah. They should not be happy with
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: the way that their offense performed. Really. But here's the
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: great thing. They didn't turn it over. Jalen had three
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: touchdown passes. Like right now for the, for the Hertz haters,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: he didn't turn it over too bad. He didn't turn
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: it over and he had three touchdown passes. So, and,
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: and two of them were terrific. I mean, they're great throws.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: The first got our touchdown. And the, obviously the one
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: to Wix was, it was, I mean, that, I mean, that,
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: that was now that was great protection, but he delivered.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: He is as Durante Jones said in his transcript before
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: the game, And it got him. He said he's one
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: of the best deep passers I've been against. Yep.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, the ball to Devontae Smith was so beautiful. Yeah,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: that was another one.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: And, okay, I really do want to address this. I
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: think Nick Sirianni, you know, game management, decision-making, he hurried
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage right after that catch, and
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: they ran a play immediately, and it was a terrible play,
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: and it put him behind the sticks, and they wound
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: up settling for a field goal. From my vantage point,
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: and I had– I had the action coming right to me.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: I don't think there was a question that he was inbounds.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: He caught it. He dragged his feet. He was worried,
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: I guess, that the commanders were going to review it.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: And he got some to the line of scrimmage and
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: they ran a play and the Hurts winds up throwing
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: it away. And now they're second and 10. I didn't
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: think that was necessary.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: By the way, great adjustment by Wicks on his nine-yard touchdown.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: That was a really nice job because Taylor still lost
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: where he was. He made a couple beautiful moves on that.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: I thought Wicks put a double move when he didn't
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: need to. He already had him beat on the initial cut,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: and then he did another double move. He had it.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: He left him in his bag, man. That was beautiful. And, again,
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: the bomb that they caught set things up. It was great.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: But the fact that we sang all this, the only
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: 10 first downs, that's embarrassing. Right. But again, they're going
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: to make corrections, and we're going to see. Like you said,
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: it set this up very well. They won the game.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: That's the thing. But defensively, they did a lot of good. Yes,
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: they got tired. Clearly, we have to check the snap counts. Yes,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: they could. Daniels was Houdini with his legs. It was incredible.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: Their pressure rate was good, but they just didn't wrap up.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: This is where Vic, they're going to go over this,
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Clint Hurt and Vic. In particular, fans who are going
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: to go over this, they have to do a better
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: job against scrambling quarterbacks. This is ridiculous. Daniels was... I
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: thought it was like Fran Tarkenton out there. I was like,
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: oh my goodness. Fran Tarkenton, for those of you who
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: are under 40, who's in the Hall of Fame, one
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: of the best quarterbacks in NFL history, one of the
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: best scramblers I've ever... I was young enough to... I
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: was old enough to remember him when I was a
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: very young kid, but I remember him just running around
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: and dodging defenders. It was just amazing. Their defense... Their
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: run defense wasn't great. Krosky Merritt had some good runs.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at my notes here. David Blau, this is
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: where I think he struggled. First run, 11 yards, then
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: he pulls and puts in Rashad White. Why would you
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: do that? Rashad White, he slows everything down. He clogs
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: it up. He's a good pass protector. Okay, I get that.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: He's good at shooting. Ironically, Krosky Merritt had the touchdown. Actually,
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: a good power run for him. He's not that powerful.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: That was his bad. Krosky may not be powerful, but
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: he was slithery. I mean, he got through. Yep. And
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: then Katron Allen came in for, wait, they had enough
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: of Rashad White, so they put Katron Allen in. So
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: that was interesting. But the game should not have been
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: as close as it was. And the defense, although Kunyan
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: obviously put Terry McLaurin on the sidelines, that was unbelievable,
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: pretty much. Yep. I did not hear from him. Not surprising, though.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Not surprising to me. I didn't. They talked about it.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: This is the first time he's been pulled maybe since
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: high school or if at all. But we don't know
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: if he was cramping. I don't know. I don't know
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: what happened. But I do know is they completely shut
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: him down. Yep. Two for 14. It was just unbelievable.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: And obviously, Rick Wolin, they did an excellent job. Now,
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: Antonio Williams is a slot receiver by trade. Made a
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: couple of huge plays. I give the kid credit. Very quiet.
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: Then all of a sudden, he became a major factor.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: The touchdown catch.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: For sure.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: The explanation from Dean Blandino was interesting. I get it
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: because his hands were on the ball. The ball's allowed
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: to touch the ground. It's got to be simultaneous.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Right. It never moved in his hand. He had his
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: fingers on it.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: Unbelievable.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: I thought that there would have been no reason to
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: overturn because not enough evidence. His hands were on the ball.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Right. Underneath it, too.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: What you just said is what Kevin Burkhardt said. There's
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: just not enough. At first glance, I'm like, there's no
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: way that's a catch. And then I saw the replay.
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: I'm like, wait a minute. His hands were on the ball,
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: on the ground. It was simultaneous and he didn't move.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know how the hell he did it.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: As I've gotten older, I've really tried to concentrate on
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: my physical health, my body, making sure I'm putting the
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: right things in and the healthiest things in. I've always
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: heard about creatine, but I wasn't really sure about using
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: creatine supplements until I did the research to find out
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: what it was really all about. That's when I found Momentus,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: which created Signature Spec Creatine, their most advanced creatine ever,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: setting a new standard for creatine quality. It's one of
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: the only creatines to be manufactured in a pharmaceutical facility
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: using reverse osmosis water purification and verified through an expanded
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: six-stage testing process with four independent agencies. They've improved the
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: product experience with ultra-fine powder that mixes effortlessly with no
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: grit or clumping. Hey, look, I like a good creatine
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: shake in the afternoon and it's got to taste good
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: and be smooth. The benefits of creatine are very real.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: It supports strength, power, lean muscle growth, recovery, and even
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: improve cognitive performance. And as I get older, all of
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: those things are so much more important to me than
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: they used to be. If you want to try Momentous

• 27:32
  Speaker 1: that I really can't stand is losing my fish and
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: my veggies because they just can't grill without falling through.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: That's why I've been using hex clads, BBQ collection. It's
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: bringing hybrid technology to, outdoors with products specifically designed to
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: make grilling easier, especially when you're cooking foods that normally
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: don't cooperate on a traditional grill. The hex clad BBU
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: grill plan combines the searing power of stainless steel, durability
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: of cast iron and the convenience of nonstick all in
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: one versatile grill pan.
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: They've also launched their new BBQ grill topper that gives
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: you even more control when you're cooking delicate foods like
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: veggies or seafood or or if you're cooking multiple portions.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: At one time. Last week, I grilled the best surf
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: and turf my style, which is salmon and ribs, and
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: lost none of it because.
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: I used Hexclad's BBQ collection.

• 28:29
  Speaker 1: it's clear people love cooking with Hexclad. There's a reason

• 29:05
  Speaker 2: Are you concerned with the lack of sacks? I'm not
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: a big– I appreciate it's very important to coaches, but
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: what are your thoughts on that?
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, yes and no. Not overly because I thought
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: there were a lot of– I thought Jayden Daniels was
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: on the run quite a bit, and he's a hard
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: guy to sack. But to your point, there were about
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: three or four plays, including one to the rookie, Williams,
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: on third and 14. He catches a 15-yard pass where
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: the four-man rush did not get home. And it's not
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: like they were on the field for a really long
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: time and Washington was running a lot of plays there
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: were times where I did feel like the four-man rush
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: didn't get home enough. I think they missed Jonathan Grenard, obviously.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: There were times, and I spoke to Cooper DeGene after
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: the game, he was hard on himself. He felt like
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: he did not play a good game, and he didn't.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: He had two bad penalties, legal contact penalties, and he
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: gave up, I think, He gave up the touchdown, right,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: to Williams. He gave up the first catch that Williams
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: made was that 14-yarder right down to the goal line
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: where then they scored on the weird Merritt touchdown right
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: after that. But that was against Cooper to Gene also.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: And then there was a third play against Koop that
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: they got three yards. So they were kind of targeting him,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: went after him, and they got it. And that's not–
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: if you're the top nickelback in the league, you can't
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: let that happen. But it didn't help that he didn't
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: have a consistent, persistent pass rush.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Their defense was, by the way, the defense, I believe,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: was on the field for over 20 minutes in the
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: second half. That's not good. No, yeah. Yeah, they were
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: getting gas. They were getting a little bit out of gas.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: And I'm very interested to see what the snap counts.
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: I want to see what their rotation looked like in
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: terms of snaps. And Vic did say, and you know this,
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: you were at the game, it was humid as hell
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden. Very. In the afternoon. Really humid.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: So that's a concern. It was in the 80s, and
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: the rain stopped late morning, early afternoon. But overall, the defense,
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: I'd say this, got some run fit issues, which they
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: got to clean up. It wasn't like they were bad
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: against the run, but they should have been better. They
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: should not have struggled. I turn out to be wrong.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: I thought their defensive line would absolutely kill Washington.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: See, I'm not sure if that's like one of those
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: things where you're concerned or you just say, hey, you
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: tip your cat. Washington's offensive line played better than given
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: credit for.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: They certainly did.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: Brandon Coleman gave up so much pressure. But Daniels negated
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: it by, by scrambling, but there were times when he
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: had too much time and, and Brady brought it, kept,
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: you know, he kept pointing it out. Look, they're only
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: for rushers only for Vic does not want to blitz.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: I get it. I mean, I, you know, Greg Cosell
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: said on a pregame show, Greg had that study and
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: he goes, it's just basically it's four man pressure. It's
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: two deep safeties. They're not giving up big plays. They're
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: not giving up plays downfield. Linebackers have to cover. Now,
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Zach Bond was a man. He was an absolute man.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: For anyone saying that Trott's going to take his job,
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: I'd like to plant it on you. We love Trott.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: He's been a great story as a third linebacker. Campbell,
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: by the way, had the sack. He lined up as
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: an edge rusher on that play. I definitely was able
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: to slow that down several times.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: By the way, he didn't realize he had a sack.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: We told him. We were asking him about the sack,
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: and me and a couple of reporters were talking to
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Campbell after the game.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: How did he not know that?
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: He's like, I got a sack? I don't think he
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: realized that Daniels was actually behind the line of scrimmage.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: He was chasing him around all day. He had no idea.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: It's funny because I was like, don't tell me they're
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: going to get a zero sack when he gets to
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage. It's credit for a sack, but
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: it's really not. But they got him about a yard
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: and a half behind. So don't make those corrections. They
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: have a very good chance to go 2-0. I expect
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: the Eagle fans to travel well to Nashville, go to Broadway,
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Willow Broadway. Great place to get some food. But it
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Like you said, they won. Defense is going to be good.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: The cornerbacks were elite in this game. Cooper, as you said,
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: has got to be better. Bond, really good. D-line got
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: some pressure, no question about it. But I feel– and
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: we'll ask Greg this when we tape the show. Did
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: they look gassed? Sometimes he can't tell. Sometimes he can tell.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: It's going to be on the process of finding out
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: what the heck happened through the tape.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, very much. So, yeah, corrections. I mean, overall,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: good job. I mean, they made the big play on
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: the two-point conversion, or else who knows how that game
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: goes because they were running out of gas. I mean,
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: I think the defense is fine, but it's got to
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: pick it up a little bit. Dejean has to play better.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Baum was an animal. And then, again, once they get
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Grenard back, then we can truly see if this pass
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: rush gets more consistent.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: Did you notice, because they kept showing Jordan Davis on
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: the sidelines, but I couldn't tell. I don't know how
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: many snaps he had. Did you notice him out of
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: the game at all?
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. I mean, he came out at times in
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: the pass rush, sure.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, which he usually does. I mean, last year
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: he was a little bit, and he was in nickel
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: way more than he'd ever been in his career.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: And he might have in this game, too. Yeah, but
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: he's not always in nickel.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: Because of the heat, because of the humidity, it was
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: really bad. And I was like, wow, this is going
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: to be interesting to see what Vic does. I cannot
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: wait to see the snap counts because I want to see.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: Because he said he needed it because the media smartly
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: asked him about that. And he said, yeah– We probably
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: need to do it. Well, he doesn't like to do it.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: He hates to do it. He doesn't like rotating at all.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: But overall, they won. It wasn't quite what I was expecting. Now,
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: it's funny. It went over the total. It was a
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: lot of points.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: I know. I know. I should have been Mr.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: Over.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: I would say it was like I expected because I'm
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: the one who always says these games are weird. And then,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: you know, people like me on YouTube. They say I
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: like Washington too much. Well, guess what? They could have
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: won that game. People think I like Washington too much.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny. But they spelled your name right. Congrats.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Very funny. They did not. All good, man.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: We'll do it up for the show. Oh, real quick.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Real quick.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: Vince Papali's show, folks. You have to hear it. We
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: did a great special show. Vince is a friend of ours.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: And all the interviews we've done in nine years, this
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: is our ninth season. If it's not my favorite, it's
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: right up there.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: phenomenal on the storytelling. I mean, we did this interview
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: in like 25. I swear he told 50 stories.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: It's crazy. Oh, I'm sure.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was phenomenal. So it's up there if you
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: want to, because if you're probably listening to other 18
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: shows last week, that's one that we're, that'll be is
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: up on audio and YouTube. You'll definitely want to hear it.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: And we'll get a lot more shows this week. We'll
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: have the debut of inside the tape, offense and defense.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: Excited about that birds weekly with Gunner and Barrett Brooks
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: will be a special guest. So excited about that. That'll
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: be part of our, programming inside the data. Sam Fink
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: will have this thing broken down in terms of EPA
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: and DVOA, all those fun stats that you and I
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: don't really get a chance to get into immediately after
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: in the post-game.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: DVOA is huge. Every coach that I know swears by it.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: They'll poke holes in a lot of data, which I
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: think is not quite like Vic does, calls it fake.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: Fake PFF stat.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: No, but they all swear by DVOA because it's one
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: thing you can't shoot holes through.
• 36:09
